Features
- 3 CCD
The HC-200 uses a high-efficiency CCD and a number of advanced video circuits. It assures a horizontal resolution of 530 lines or more and a signal-to-noise-ratio of higher than 58dB. It can be used in illumination as low as 20 lux minimum for f1.4 with +18dB gain. The CCD greatly reduces vertical smear, moire, ringing and fixed-pattern noise, thereby providing a high-quality picture. - Electronic Shutter
The HC-200 has an electronic variable shutter that not only allows you to shoot a subject moving at a high speed, but it also removes fluorescent light flicker by” using 1/100 or 1/120 sec shutter speed. - Auto-knee
Improves the contrast handling capability under any amount of incident light. - Comprehensive Design for Combined Use
The S-VHS and S-VHS-C VCR can be directly connected to the camera head for easy use as a combined VCR-camera. Op- tional adapters allow the camera to integrate with a BETACAM VCR. Even with the VCR connected, most of the camera func- tions, such as remote control still work with on-board VCR. - Allowance for Various VCRs
The HC-200 can have a y /C separate output and component signal output (option) .These features allow for connection with many VCRs, including S-VHS, BETACAM, MIl and U-matic as well. - Microcomputer Control
